CHESTER DISTRICT SCOUT COUNCIL 

Supporting Scout Groups and Explorer Scout Units in the Chester District in the delivery of the youth programme of the Scout Association (incorporated by Royal Charter)
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
